Reset: 31 day challenge
£30 or free to BCC members
31 days of getting to know your nervous system, building stress management habits that you can actually persist with. Designed specifically for academics!
It’s summer, but you already have that anticipatory dread, the knot in your stomach. Semester is coming, and you’ve had barely a moment to draw breath. You really want to get control of your stress levels this year, but you know the conditions in academia won’t be changing any time soon.
Reset is a 31 day challenge running in the Beatha Coaching Community throughout August, designed specifically for academics, and delivered by me (Francesca), a former academic and fully-qualified coach with four years of experience supporting clients in HE.
Each day of the month you’ll receive a 5 minute prompt to think about, a video of a stress management tool to try, or a challenge to complete, direct to your email. Over the 31 days these build into your own personal toolkit of resources and sustainable habits for the new semester.
In addition, you’ll get access to a Whatsapp channel where you can reach me during the month for additional support.
PLUS I will send you all three modules in my Burnout Rewire course, to keep and watch in your own time.
Members of Beatha Coaching Community have automatic access to the challenge, and a special members-only Coffee chat and check-in on Wednesday 12th August at 1pm. If you would like to join the community and get access to the challenge alongside all the other member benefits like monthly group coaching, weekly co-writing, and an archive of academia-specific workshops, head over the BCC page to find out more and subscribe.
Just want to join the 31 day challenge? Sign up now for £30 and I’ll see you in your inbox on the 1st of August 2026.
Summer Writing Programme
Join me for a self-paced summer writing programme to support you through writing in hard times. The course focuses on ten weeks of writing prompts, accompanied by a weekly co-writing call, and supported through three group coaching sessions for the cohort. The live calls are all recorded and sent to you if you can’t attend.
This programme is for you if:
- You are writing about a hard topic
- You are writing in challenging circumstances
- You want to write to process hard things
The course is primarily designed for people who are already writing (memoirists, authors, researchers, PhD candidates) and the prompts reflect that, but anybody is welcome.
Our first five weeks together cover: getting started; cognitions about writing; life mapping our writing; meeting our parts; and making meaning.
In the second half of the programme we focus more on content: compassion; the vulnerable observer; holding space; silence; and finally, carrying on.
All live calls are recorded for those who can’t or prefer not to attend. You have until a month after the conclusion of the programme to watch all the sessions. The prompts are yours to keep and reuse to continue your writing journey.
Cost:
- Just the course: £125
- Course PLUS a 90 minute personal coaching session with me: £200
I try to keep costs as low as possible whilst still reflecting the value of the offering, as I want my courses to be accessible in challenging times.
How to join:
Nothing simpler! Just hit the button below to register your details and pay. You’ll get an email from me confirming (it might take up to 24 hours for that to arrive) and another the week before the course starts in July.
